This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Low, indirect flow
• Placement: Lower reef areas or protected rockwork
• Temperament: Generally peaceful but can spread
• Care Level: Beginner to Moderate

Lighting

Use low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually to any brighter area, as abrupt lighting increases can stress a mushroom coral.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Avoid strong direct current, which can keep the disc from expanding normally.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Give it time to settle after introduction before moving it again.

Temperament

Keep reasonable space around it as it settles and spreads. It is generally peaceful, but growth into nearby corals may require occasional management.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Occasional small foods may be accepted, but stable conditions and suitable placement remain the priority.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe disc expansion, position, and response to light and flow. Make changes gradually, especially when adjusting lighting or relocating the coral within the aquarium.

Start with gentle conditions and adjust only after observing its response.
